I’m sure if you polled the fanbase Week 13 in 2012 it would have said the same thing about Rivera. Rhule still has 5 games to turn it around. I don’t expect them to win another game. But if they run the table and finish 10-7 I’m on board with keeping him. 

Progress is the key, and we have shown no progress and many could actually argue regression. That and all of our coaches are awful with in game decisions. I’m convinced they don’t even try to adjust at halftime, they have a 60 minute script they run from. That’s becoming more and more apparent.

Sensationalism aside, we all expected to see signs of progress being made in the rebuild process. This ain't that.

When the defense isn't getting demoralized on the first drive of the game, they play pretty well.

We've had a top 5 defense most of the season so far. Is that not progress?

I agree. They seem in over their heads. At times in 2011 and 2012, Rivera’s teams didn’t look great either. Ron made tons of rookie coach mistakes including calling a timeout to let the Saints kick a FG before halftime once. But they tended to be in almost every game and blew it at the end. Those teams showed a lot more progress than Rhule’s squads. And we obviously had a franchise QB still learning the ropes. With no franchise QB tying a coach here it would be easier to move on from Rhule than it would from Rivera in 2012 IMO.

Football is secondary to feelings and rage and clicks

Well to be fair football seems to be secondary to our coaches and players rn because we damn sure aren't winning anything so the fans are only a reflection of that.

The Panthers decided to go all out on corners instead of OL.  We got like 8 quality CBs and no OL.  No idea what logic Rhule had there.

I agree with that but we are also in year 2 of a rebuild.   Before the 3-0 start everyone knew that.  Even the front office seemed to get blinded by that and try to jump into win now mode and trash the rebuild.  I think Rhule will get one more season.  Hopefully not Brady though.   They will have to find a qb they fully commit to and their fate will be directly tied to him.  No more going to the scrap heap and getting a pass.

Um they've already done that two times now. 30 million dollars for one season of Teddy Bridgwater and 3 draft picks and 18 million dollars guaranteed for the worst starting qb in the league.

Those were both trying to make value gambles in my opinion.

The way the team has been playing do you really think Matt is gonna suddenly become a good NFL coach? Most coaches in year 2 show improvement. Fox went 7-9 in his first year and then Super Bowl. Rivera went 7-9 in his second year and then 12-4 his third. Showing improvement all 3 years. 
Rhule has been regressing and most of the blame for how the team is rest solely at his feet. 
I just don’t think another year will prove Rhule is the coach of the future. The team has avoided “rebuilding” like the plague from the moves they have made.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
